The four Organic Laws of the United States of America, the Declaration of Independence of July 4, 1776, the Articles of Confederation of November 15, 1777, the Northwest Ordinance of July 13, 1787 and the Constitution of September 17, 1787, determine the meaning of each successive Organic Law.  The Declaration of Independence of July 4, 1776 controls the meaning of the Articles of Confederation of November 15, 1777.  The Articles of Confederation of November 15, 1777 limits the kind of legislation the Northwest Ordinance of July 13, 1787 can be as the Articles of Confederation is well known not to have legislative power over the States that comprise the Confederacy.  The Northwest Ordinance of July 13, 1787 enacted a few weeks prior to the Constitution of September 17, 1787 explains the meaning and territory of the term “United States,” as in the Constitution of the United States.

The meaning of the “United States” depends on how those two words are used in the Organic Law.  When the “United States” is used in the Declaration of Independence of July 4, 1776 and the Articles of Confederation of November 15, 1777, the term is clearly used to identify free and independent States.  When the “United States” is used in the Northwest Ordinance of July 13, 1787 and Constitution of September 17, 1787, it must be presumed that the term “United States” refers to the un-admitted States of the Northwest Territory, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, Wisconsin and part of Minnesota.  The States in the term “United States of America” are the self-described free and independent States of the Confederacy formed by the Articles of Confederation of November 15, 1777.  The “United States of America” is only used twice in the Constitution of September 17, 1787: in Article II Section 1 Clause 1–President of the United States of America” and in Article VII—“and of  the Independence of the United States of America the Twelfth.”   The “United States of America” appears in the Preamble, but that sentence is not officially part of the Constitution of September 17, 1787.  

There is a discernable consistency in the use of “United States” and “United States of America” in the Constitution of September 17, 1787. 

Article I Section 2 of the Constitution of September 17, 1787 is devoted to the House of Representatives, a version of which is described in the Northwest Ordinance of July 13, 1787.  Article I Section 2 Clause 3 describes Representatives and direct taxes, which could only be apportioned among the States of the Union that was formed when the Northwest Ordinance of July 13, 1787 incorporated the territorial States of Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, Wisconsin and part of Minnesota into the United States of America.  That Union is referred to as “this Union,” in Article 1 Section 2 Clause 3:          

Representatives and direct Taxes shall be apportioned among the several States which may be included within this Union, according to their respective Numbers, which shall be determined by adding to the whole Number of free Persons, including those bound to Service for a Term of Years, and excluding Indians not taxed, three fifths of all other Persons. The actual Enumeration shall be made within three Years after the first Meeting of the Congress of the United States, and within every subsequent Term of ten Years, in such Manner as they shall by Law direct. The Number of Representatives shall not exceed one for every thirty Thousand, but each State shall have at Least one Representative; and until such enumerations shall be made, the State of New Hampshire shall be entitled to chuse three, Massachusetts eight, Rhode-Island and Providence Plantations one, Connecticut five, New-York six, New Jersey four, Pennsylvania eight, Delaware one, Maryland six, Virginia ten, North Carolina five, South Carolina five, and Georgia three.

The two references in Article IV of the Constitution of September 17, 1787 to “this Union” in Section 3 and Section 4 should resolve all doubt that the Constitution is nothing more than a permanent version of the Northwest Ordinance of July 13, 1787.  The use of the full term “United States of America” is the most conclusive evidence that the term “United States” refers to the territory still owned by the United States of America.

The census is constitutionally limited to the United States, the territory owned by and which is subject to the jurisdiction of the United States of America.  Anyone wishing to object to the 2010 census should do so on the basis that participation is only mandatory as to persons who are located on territory owned by the United States of America.

The four Organic Laws determine the meaning of each successive Organic Law.  The Declaration of Independence of July 4, 1776 controls the meaning of the Articles of Confederation of November 15, 1777 to the extent that document is unclear.

The Declaration of Independence requires that the exercise of government power be conditioned on the consent of those, who would be governed.  That revered document confirmed the unalienable right of the people to rule themselves with the help of unwritten law.   

The Articles of Confederation confers to government no power of taxation or legislation on the American people.     The original thirteen States could not grant to the Confederacy what King George III had lost before he lost the war and legally relinquished by treaty.  The Treaty of Paris granted to the United States of America proprietary and territorial power over the Northwest Territory, which the Congress of the Confederacy used to create a temporary republican form of government for the Northwest Territory, which brings us to the census found in Article I Section 2 Clause 3 of the Constitution of September 17, 1787:

Representatives and direct Taxes shall be apportioned among the several States which may be included within this Union, according to their respective Numbers, which shall be determined by adding to the whole Number of free Persons, including those bound to Service for a Term of Years, and excluding Indians not taxed, three fifths of all other Persons. The actual Enumeration shall be made within three Years after the first Meeting of the Congress of the United States, and within every subsequent Term of ten Years, in such Manner as they shall by Law direct. The Number of Representatives shall not exceed one for every thirty Thousand, but each State shall have at Least one Representative; and until such enumerations shall be made, the State of New Hampshire shall be entitled to chuse three, Massachusetts eight, Rhode-Island and Providence Plantations one, Connecticut five, New-York six, New Jersey four, Pennsylvania eight, Delaware one, Maryland six, Virginia ten, North Carolina five, South Carolina five, and Georgia three.

The Union created by the Articles of Confederation of November 15, 1777 was a permanent and perpetual Union acknowledged as such by all thirteen member States.  That perpetual Union is “the Union” the Union of States in preparation for admission into “the Union” is formed temporarily by the Northwest Ordinance of July 13, 1787 and permanently by the Constitution of September 17, 1787.

The Representatives of Article I Section 2 Clause 3 are the non-voting Representatives in the Congress, who may debate, but are not entitled to vote.  These same Representatives can be found in the Northwest Ordinance of July 13, 1787.

The federal census is limited to the territory owned by the United States of America.  Admission into “the Union” is based on a minimum population established by the now, which the federal census will determine.    The first census is to take place after the First Congress meets: “The actual Enumeration shall be made within three Years after the first Meeting of the Congress of the United States, and within every subsequent Term of ten Years, in such Manner as they shall by Law direct.”

The First Congress, which met on m49 is a Congress whose territorial jurisdiction is limited to the territory owned by the United States of America, because Senators must be Citizens of the United States for nine years and the first Senators do not meet the qualification set by the Constitution.  The Confederacy of the United States of America is not completed until March 1, 1781, so no person can qualify as a Senator until March 1, 1790.  This is consistent with the Article II Section 1 Clause 5 requirement that the first President must be “fourteen Years a Resident within the United States.”   No person can be eligible to the Office of President until after July 4, 1790.

The first federal census was supposed to be limited to federal territory, but according to plan it was expanded to ensnare as many as let themselves get caught.  Government and written law are traps for the unwary.  The only way to avoid the consequences of government sausage making is to know government and law from their inception.  My Basic Course in Law and Government is the only course of its kind.  You can start your legal education by reading the rest of these Posts and by contacting me at edrivera@edrivera.com   Basic and Advanced Course Students may request a full report on the census.

Voting is not one of the “certain unalienable Rights,” because the right to vote conflicts directly with the self-evident Truth “that all Men are created equal.”  A majority of voters cannot deny or abridge the Rights of Men “endowed by their Creator.”  According to the precepts set out in the Declaration of Independence, the vote of 80 million men and women would be equal to one non-voter, therefore, representative government is not the law of the land of the free.  A democratic republic with a representative government is incorporated into the written law in the territory owned by and ceded to the United States of America.

Written law is the only law that can be taught in the regimented law schools of the world, because written law favors the ruling class.  There is a big problem with teaching written law exclusively.  The exclusion of unwritten law leads to the assumption by legal scholars that representatives elected by the people can make laws for everyone and everything.  Law in America is not taught, as I teach it, using the Organic Law of the United States of America, as the source of all written law.  My approach to the teaching of law exposes the obvious territorial limitations to all written law.

The first and second Organic Laws of the United States of America, the Declaration of Independence of July 4, 1776 and the Articles of Confederation of November 15, 1777 establish a Confederacy of completely free states, where only the “Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God” apply to the people.

The third and fourth Organic Laws, the Northwest Ordinance of July 13, 1787 and Constitution of September 17, 1787 create, first, a temporary government and then a permanent Union of federal territory owned by and ceded to the United States of America.  By act of the United States in Congress assembled, the Northwest Ordinance of July 13, 1787 establishes a representative government in the Northwest Territory:

So soon as there shall be five thousand free male inhabitants of full age in the district, upon giving proof thereof to the governor, they shall receive authority, with time and place, to elect a representative from their counties or townships to represent them in the general assembly: Provided, That, for every five hundred free male inhabitants, there shall be one representative, and so on progressively with the number of free male inhabitants shall the right of representation increase, until the number of representatives shall amount to twenty five; after which, the number and proportion of representatives shall be regulated by the legislature: Provided, That no person be eligible or qualified to act as a representative unless he shall have been a citizen of one of the United States three years, and be a resident in the district, or unless he shall have resided in the district three years; and, in either case, shall likewise hold in his own right, in fee simple, two hundred acres of land within the same; Provided, also, That a freehold in fifty acres of land in the district, having been a citizen of one of the states, and being resident in the district, or the like freehold and two years residence in the district, shall be necessary to qualify a man as an elector of a representative.

The representatives thus elected, shall serve for the term of two years; and, in case of the death of a representative, or removal from office, the governor shall issue a writ to the county or township for which he was a member, to elect another in his stead, to serve for the residue of the term.

 

The Constitution of September 17, 1787 made the kind of representative government provided for in the Northwest Ordinance of July 13, 1787 permanent for the federal territory then owned by the United States of America and any future territory that might be acquired by the United States of America.

The Northwest Ordinance of July 13, 1787 made the Northwest Territory part of the Confederacy known as the United States of America the other United States of America was the territory of the people.  When, on February 4, 1789, George Washington was elected President of the United States of America, he knew no one would be eligible to fill the Constitution’s Article II Section 1 Clause 5 Office of President.  He also knew that with the help of his fellow conspirators he could take the oral oath of Office of President of the United States and everyone else would believe he had filled the Constitution’s Article II Section 1 Clause 5 Office of President.  Taking an oral oath freed Washington from any obligation “to support this Constitution.”

The original Congress, the United States in Congress assembled, of the Articles of Confederation of November 15, 1777, has secretly met since March 4, 1789 as the Senate.  The House of Representatives and direct taxes were, according to Article I Section 2 Clause 3, to “be apportioned among the several States which may be included within this Union.”  The States of that Union and all future federal States will be comprised of territory owned by and ceded to the United States of America.

The Organic Laws of the United States of America tell the stories of two United States of America.  The United States of America created by the Declaration of Independence and protected by the Articles of Confederation of November 15, 1777 describes a place where all inhabitants are entitled to all the privileges and immunities of citizens, so they don’t have to become part of government.  The second United States of America, the Confederacy together with the territory owned by and ceded to the United States of America describe a political organization for citizens of the United States accounted for by a decennial census.          

My Students are taught how government since July 4, 1776 has been limited to those who take an oath of Office or who contract with it.  To learn how today’s government is limited to territory owned by and ceded to the United States of America, contact me at edrivera@edrivera.com

What is worse, the further extension of the martial law begun by George Washington or the socialism proposed by Barack Obama in his speech before a joint session of Congress?  The near total control of right to contract for the payment of health expenses is fast approaching.

Insurance is a contract between the insurer and the insured.  In the insurance contract, the insurer seeks to make a profit by keeping the amount paid in claims significantly lower than the amount of consideration received to make the insurance contract.  Here Obama proposes that a denial of insurance coverage, because of a pre-existing medical condition be made a civil or criminal wrong:

What this plan will do is to make the insurance you have work better for you. Under this plan, it will be against the law for insurance companies to deny you coverage because of a pre-existing condition. As soon as I sign this bill, it will be against the law for insurance companies to drop your coverage when you get sick or water it down when you need it most. They will no longer be able to place some arbitrary cap on the amount of coverage you can receive in a given year or a lifetime. We will place a limit on how much you can be charged for out-of-pocket expenses, because in the United States of America, no one should go broke because they get sick. And insurance companies will be required to cover, with no extra charge, routine checkups and preventive care, like mammograms and colonoscopies – because there’s no reason we shouldn’t be catching diseases like breast cancer and colon cancer before they get worse. That makes sense, it saves money, and it saves lives.

Notice how Barack Obama uses the term “United States of America” to geographically place persons, who file for bankruptcy after a serious illness.  He says “broke” not bankrupt, because the bankruptcy laws are federal.  A person who files for bankruptcy should satisfy the territorial jurisdiction of the bankruptcy court, which is part of the United States district court.  These courts are found in Sections 81 to 131 of Chapter 5 of Title 28 U.S.C.   There in the “Historical and Revision Notes” will be found the most important sentence in the United States Code: “Sections 81-131 of this chapter show the territorial composition of districts and divisions by counties as of January 1, 1945,” which is fully discussed in these posts.     

Federal civil and criminal cases meeting Barack Obama’s idea of “against the law” should, also, have to meet the territorial jurisdiction for the United States district court, where the case was brought.  When no objection is made, because of the lack of territorial jurisdiction, the myth of universal federal jurisdiction is perpetuated. Federal district courts are supposed to be

limited to the federal territory contained within the counties that comprise the district and division of that court.  As these are legislative courts and not judicial courts, the same federal territory constitutes the same territory that will determine representation in the House of Representatives, according to Article I Section 2 Clause 3 of the Constitution of September 17, 1787.  This Constitution has not been adopted by a legitimate government, so there is no legal obligation to correct the Congressional districts created by the States.  The first census of 1790 began the extension of federal power outside of federal territory and every subsequent census has compounded the problem.

Congress, Representatives and direct taxes, “this Union” as opposed to “the Union” and many other subjects relating to Article I of the Constitution of September 17, 1787 are dealt with in the Advanced Course on Congress.  In this Course, the Advanced Student learns how to prove that “the People of the several States” refer to those persons residing on territory owned by and ceded to the United States of America.

There is no justice in America, because there is one employee of the federal government occupying the position of Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States.  Putting an American Chief Justice at the head of the legal system, touted as “the supreme law of the Land,” had the same effect as making the presiding judge in the king’s bench division of the high court of justice Chief Justice in England.  The “Lord Chief Justice of England” exercises the judicial power of the monarch in England.  The Chief Justice of the Supreme Court exercises the “judicial power” of the Congress of the United States.  There is no separate judicial power just as there is no separate executive power.  All government power in America has been exercised, since 1789, by a few people making written laws enforced, by Justices and judges, without real judicial power.    

The title of Chief Justice is located in Article I, the legislative Article, and there the person with that title is charged with the solitary legislative duty of presiding over the impeachment of the President of the United States, which is a legislative function not a judicial one.  The statutory creation of the Office of Chief Justice was a two-step process.  Statute I, Chapter XVIII of September 23, 1789 set the annual compensation for “the judges of the Supreme and other courts of the United States.”  Statute I, Chapter XX, Section 1. of September 24,1789, the Judiciary Act of 1789 established by statute “the supreme court of the United States and the office of chief justice. 

The legislative creation of the Chief Justice and the Supreme Court of the United States was complete when the President of the United States, a legislative Officer, approved the federal judicial system, by signing the compensation and judiciary Bills.  This was all possible, because “this Constitution” required an adoption by the Congress of the United States and the person elected President of the United States of America.  The adoption of this Constitution could take place no sooner than July 4, 1790.  By the time that date was reached, George Washington had established a permanent federal government for the territory owned by and ceded to the United States of America, but which was extended beyond those boundaries by the federal census and voting in federal elections.  The takeover of law and government in America had been accomplished without one shot being fired.

The Constitution of September 17, 1787 was ratified by the thirteen States of the original and perpetual Union, the Confederacy styled the United States of America, but it was not adopted by a President and Congress bound by oath “to support this Constitution,” the Constitution of September 17, 1787.  This Constitution is the one erroneously thought to be operating in America.   The Constitutional Convention meeting in secret devised the clever scheme, whereby George Washington would be ineligible to fill the Article II Section 1 Clause 5 Office of President.  The “fourteen Years a Resident within the United States” requirement could not be met until after July 4, 1790, by Washington or anyone else.  The absence of a President aborted this Constitution and prevented its adoption.

Washington was elected by the Presidential Electors on February 4, 1789, months after New Hampshire, on June 21, 1788, became the ninth State to ratify the Constitution of September 17, 1787.  From before May 25, 1787, when the Constitutional Convention first met through the State ratifications of the Constitution George Washington was engaged in an active conspiracy to take over the governments of America.

The Constitution of the United States is the slickest and most monumental piece of political skullduggery ever devised by the minds of men.  George Washington and the Freemasons that plotted to highjack the federal government had to be the cleverest in recorded history.  What other group of men have been able to fool so many people for so long.

On July 4, 1776, the Freedom Genie was let out of the bottle with the announcement that all men are created equal.  A mad and very angry King George III refused to accept the proposition that a few American dirt farmers were the equal of his Britannic Majesty, so the American Revolution was a hard fought war.  The British, however, didn’t have a chance with so many dedicated Freemasons behind the American cause.

American Patriots may have proved to be greater than just the equal of the English monarchy, but they were no match for the Freemasons and their leader George Washington.

By now, everyone has been able to do the calculations that prove George Washington, intentionally, did not qualify for the Office of President.  To be eligible to the Office of President, a person had to be a resident within the United States for 14 years.  As time, in the Constitution of September 17, 1787, is measured in years of independence 14 years would begin the day after July 4, 1790.  No one in America would qualify for the Office of President and the Office of President would not be open until after July 4, 1790. Washington had been elected February 4, 1789 and was scheduled to be inaugurated on April 30, 1789 much to early to qualify for the Office of President.

Washington correctly thought that by the time he was found out he would be long dead and he was right by more than 200 years.  The Constitution of the United States is the oldest and longest running Ponzi scheme.  Social Security is widely known to be a Ponzi in its waning days.  As presiding officer of the super secret Constitutional Convention, Washington knew that there were many Presidents in the Constitution of September 17, 1787.  On February 4, he had been elected unanimously by the presidential electors to be President of the United States of America.       

George Washington schemed with other American Freemasons to be exactly in the position he had placed himself on April 30, 1789.  Technically unqualified to take the Office of President, Washington, as a duly elected President of the United States of America, appointed himself to be President of the United States by taking the oral oath of Office of President of the United States.   Washington must have felt secure in following this dangerous course because of the support he could count on from the Masons.

By taking the oath that appears in the middle of the Constitution of September 17, 1787, Washington transformed Article I of that Constitution into the Constitution and government of the United States.  When Washington takes the oral oath to be President of the United States, the Office of President is left vacant and the Constitution of September 17, 1787 cannot be adopted.  George Washington certainly looks and acts the part of a President and for more than 200 years no one has figured out what Washington and the Freemasons have done.

Article I Section 1 vests all legislative powers herein granted in a Congress, which means there are at least two.  There is, of course, the United States in Congress assembled of the Articles of Confederation, which have not bee repealed.   The Chief Justice is not a judge and as an officer obligated to preside at a non-judicial proceeding called an impeachment he is more a legislative officer and not a judge.

 

“This Union” can only be the Union of federal States and not the perpetual Union of the Articles of Confederation.           

Every Constitution needs to have the three components of a political state: population, territory and law.  The Constitution of the United States is that part of the Constitution of September 17, 1787 that precedes the oral oath of Office of the President of the United States.  The population of the new State to be known as the United States is found in the Preamble. “We the People of the United States” shall be the population of this new State.

The territory is identified as the Northwest Territory and in the future as territory owned by and ceded to the United States of America.

The law is identified as “this Constitution for the United States of America” in the Preamble; Article I Section 8 Clause 18, the power to tax: “To make all Laws which shall be necessary and proper for carrying into Execution the foregoing Powers, and all other Powers vested by this Constitution in the Government of the United States, or in any Department or Officer thereof;” and Article II Section 1 Clause 5: “No person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President; neither shall any person be eligible to that Office who shall not have attained to the Age of thirty five Years, and been fourteen Years a Resident within the United States.”

If there are two Congresses, it must follow that you have your choice of two Unions: perpetual or more perfect.  If you pick the perpetual “firm league of friendship” of the Articles of Confederation and the United States of America, you get no representation, because the style of the United States of America is a Confederacy, which is an organization of States not people.  The Articles of Confederation operates on States, but only to the degree that leaves them with their: sovereignty, freedom and independence, which means no taxation.  If you pick the more perfect Union of the United States, you can vote for an Elector pledged to a certain President of the United States, a Representative and two Senators, but you may have to pay taxes.

The Constitution of the United States makes the case for a Union more perfect than the one created by the Northwest Ordinance of July 13, 1787, by integrating the Articles of Confederation and Northwest Ordinance of July 13, 1787 into a new Organic Law called “this Constitution for the United States of America.”  The Confederacy of the United States of America then uses “this Constitution” to create a Constitution of the United States for the territory owned by and ceded to the United States of America and Washington, D. C.

The basis for federal taxation is found in the second half of Article I Section 2 of the Constitution of September 17, 1787:

Representatives and direct Taxes shall be apportioned among the several States which may be included within this Union, according to their respective Numbers, which shall be determined by adding to the whole Number of free Persons, including those bound to Service for a Term of Years, and excluding Indians not taxed, three fifths of all other Persons. The actual Enumeration shall be made within three Years after the first Meeting of the Congress of the United States, and within every subsequent Term of ten Years, in such Manner as they shall by Law direct. The Number of Representatives shall not exceed one for every thirty Thousand, but each State shall have at Least one Representative; and until such enumerations shall be made, the State of New Hampshire shall be entitled to chuse three, Massachusetts eight, Rhode-Island and Providence Plantations one, Connecticut five, New-York six, New Jersey four, Pennsylvania eight, Delaware one, Maryland six, Virginia ten, North Carolina five, South Carolina five, and Georgia three.

When vacancies happen in the Representation from any State, the Executive Authority thereof shall issue Writs of Election to fill such Vacancies.

 

    The House of Representatives shall chuse their speaker and other Officers; and shall have the sole Power of Impeachment.       

 

The Representatives and direct taxes which shall be apportioned by “a Congress of the United States” are limited to the several States, which were originally created by the Northwest Ordinance of July 13, 1787.  The States of the Northwest Territory, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, Wisconsin and part of Minnesota are the several States of “this Union.”  The Congress of the United States has legislative power only over the territory owned by and ceded to the United States of America. 

Ratification of the Constitution of September 17, 1787 by the original thirteen States is the authorization needed to create a State within a State.  The nine State ratification required by Article VII of the Constitution of September 17, 1787 satisfies Article IX of the Articles of Confederation with respect to the creation of a Committee of the States, henceforward to be called the Senate. 

What happened to the original thirteen States and the perpetual Union?  It, of course, still exists that’s what perpetual means.  The Union of the United States of America can be revived any time any of the 50 States of the perpetual Union decide against secession and return to the Organic Law.

Provision is made for a census in Article I Section 2 Clause 3 of the Constitution of September 17, 1787.  However, we know that George Washington prevented adoption of “this Constitution” and a different Constitution of the United States was substituted.  Which Constitution was substituted?  The same Constitution George Washington took an oral oath to “preserve, protect and defend” was the one substituted.   Because George Washington took only an oral oath, the Constitution of the United States wasn’t a written one.

If the census in the Constitution of September 17, 1787, was to be of all the people in the states, the census of the Constitution of the United States would have to be limited to the territory owned by and ceded to the United States of America, because George Washington and the Congress of the United States were limited to making law for the territory owned by and ceded to the United States of America.

There are accounts of the oral oath of Office of President of the United States taken by George Washington, but no actual recording of the oath he took.  Today we have visual and audio recordings of President of the United States Barack Hussein Obama taking the oath twice.   

Why has no one understood till now the significance of the oral oath of Office of President of the United States?  To fully understand why an oral oath cannot sustain an obligation to support a written Constitution, become a student immediately.  Contact me at edrivera@edrivera.com and if you are currently out of work, on a low fixed income or are unable to pay in full the low tuition of $500, for whatever good reason, you can start learning the law and government on an installment plan.
